Several new features are bundled up in this release 😃
Multiple PV arrays
We're excited to release the ability to model multiple PV arrays providing power within CLOVER! This will enable users to consider setups consisting of different types of panels (performance characteristics etc.) at different orientations within their energy system, e.g., when considering the power output of a mesh grid, or a minigrid comprosing multiple individual power-generaiton stations.
Tracking panels
Panels can now move! Both single- and dual-axis tracking panels are now supported in CLOVER compared with previous releases.
Shorter arguments
Command-line arguments in `v5.0` were long and cumbersome, so shorter and sweeter arguments such as `-pv` and `-b` to replace `--pv-system-size` and `--storage-system-size` (so cumbersome!) were introduced as part of 83 and 87 .
Fixing fixed fixes
Lots of things within an energy system change over time, but a lot don't. We introduced the ability to model fixed inverter sizes and to consider fixed system costs (as well as those which scale with the capaicty of the system).
